Abstract
The evaluation of complex facial-cranial trauma and subsequent restoration requires multidisciplinary treatment planning for optimal success and patient satisfaction. Patients with bilateral subcondylar fractures and facial-dental trauma are invariably challenging. Consideration of total joint replacement, along with the comprehensive evaluation of facial-dental esthetics and occlusion is critical for an optimal long-term outcome and for patient comfort. This patient treatment illustrates team cooperation and an optimal patient treatment outcome with long-term follow-up in the reconstruction of a complex cranial-facial injury from an unrestrained motor vehicle accident. The treatment included bilateral temporomandibular joint replacement with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing fitted total temporomandibular joint reconstruction, grafting of a deficient anterior maxillary alveolar ridge, and dental implant placement and subsequent restoration with a partial fixed dental prosthesis.
